Publication Design - Paduan Yearbook

A Padua tradition, our yearbook is a student-produced publication. From photography to layout, from editing to theme-development, students oversee each part of the process, fostering teamwork, leadership abilities, and design skills.

Student designers and editors have become published photographers, university newspaper editors-in-chief, and employees at top-rated publication companies, such as Conde Nast.
